Figure 3
On graph paper, draw Figures 4 and 5.
Figure 1 is a
-by- square.
Figure 2 is a-by- square.
Figure 3 is a-by- square.
That means Figureshould be a square. What would Figure 10 look like? How many tiles would it have on each side? What about Figure 100?
Refer to part (a).
Figure 10: An
-by- square that would have tiles.
Can you use the pattern to find what Figure 100 would look like?
Cami has a different pattern. She decided to represent the number of tiles in her pattern in a table, as shown below. Can you use the table to predict how many tiles would be in Figure 5 of her tile pattern? How many tiles would Figure 8 have? Explain how you know.
